Palmer Alaska, Agricultural Center of Alaska

IMG_0308I stopped in at Palmer’s Friday Fling today.  It was a gorgeous day, about 70 degrees with a bright sun.  Almost too hot for this old Alaskan. 

Every Friday during the summer Palmer has a mini fair. Booths are selling everything from fur slippers to funnel cakes to organic bread.  The organic booth was actually doing the most business when I was there.  I was hoping to see some early produce but I guess that was unrealistic…it’s only the middle of June and most crops were just planted two weeks ago.

But I took some photos:IMG_0310

It was right across from the Palmer Visitors Center and gardens.Palmer Visitors CenterThe gardens were actually coming into bloom.

My daughter Teressa has some photos that show off the Palmer area as an agricultural center of Alaska, she is a better photographer than I.  Here are more of her photos.

Marty, I love your photo blogs of Alaska! I really hope to get there one day, but until then I'll have to live that dream through your lens and words. The cabin looks lovely!
